DRINKING WATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITE PAPERS

• Gulf Of Mexico's Hypoxic Zone Larger Than Ever

  Last year, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recorded the largest hypoxic zone in the Gulf of Mexico since monitoring began 32 years ago. Hypoxic waters, often referred to as dead zones, have dissolved oxygen concentrations of less than 2-3 ppm. They are caused by eutrophication or excess nutrients that promote algal growth in water bodies. As algae decompose, they consume oxygen creating dead zones.

• Municipal Water Reuse Done Right: Lessons In Efficiency

  California water reuse program provides multiple benefits, serving as a model for other municipalities.

• KETOS SHIELD Delivers Insight Into Critical Water Quality Parameters

  Food company leverages the KETOS SHIELD to stabilize water quality, reduce chemical costs, and ensure compliance with proactive water quality monitoring.

• How To Filter Iron & Manganese From Well Water With Manganese Dioxide Filter Media

  There are various treatment processes that are used to remove iron and manganese from ground water for potable water supplies. Iron and manganese are typically found in groundwater in a dissolved state and the water may appear clear. While there are various less common treatment methods used (such as ion exchange), most treatment systems for iron and manganese oxidize the ferrous state (clear iron) to a ferric state so the solid particles can then be filtered out. 

• Safety, Savings, Synergy: The Aquana-Itron Partnership Reshaping Utilities

  In the ever-evolving realm of smart water solutions, Aquana's AquaFlex™  Actuator Valve (AVS) emerges as a transformative force, promising heightened operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness for water utilities. This American-designed and manufactured remote water shutoff valve, seamlessly integrated into Itron’s AMI network, is poised to reshape the landscape of utility operations.

• Taking An Affordable Approach To Smart Water And IoT Technology

  Here are several ways that even smaller utilities can implement affordable technologies to improve visibility into what’s happening in key areas of their systems.

• Harness The Power Of One Bacterium To Remove PFAS From The Environment

  Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a family of synthetic organic molecules, which are not naturally occurring in nature. Due to the strong carbon-fluorine bond present in these molecules, they are especially long-lived once released into the environment and are resistant to regular chemical remediation methods.

• How Targeted Investments By Private Water Can Boost Public Support

  A significant number of utilities operating in smaller regions where resources are strained, and where the daily business of water treatment can be exceedingly expensive, have turned to privately owned companies to manage their drinking water and wastewater operations. The downside is that this arrangement also tends to bring heavy scrutiny from a public that expects the provider to put service above the bottom line. Fortunately, targeted investments in solutions can address the issue.

• Pipeline Management Through Measurement

  Pressure transients can be reduced through changes in pump operations and valve usage. Intelligent pipeline monitoring, combining pressure data with analytics, helps utilities prevent problems and educate operators and customers.

• Mueller Has You Covered For Domestic Products

  Since 1857, Mueller Water Products have been helping municipalities increase operational efficiencies, improve customer service and prioritize capital spending. Throughout this time Mueller has played an essential role in the research, development and manufacturing of products and services used in water systems across North America.
